Investment Trends in Brazil

Brazil’s growing middle class and tech-savvy consumers are contributing to make the country a top destination for investments in Latin America.

Out of the $7.9 billion that private equity and VC firms committed to invest in the region last year, Brazil received $5.7 billion. The amount was invested in 147 deals while Mexico closed only 21 deals for $684 million.
